Welcome

Read on below...but first we are sorry to say that the Shoe Clinic Blokes Tri and Du Series for 2011 will not be happening.  We will be back in 2012 so put the dates in your calendar and help us with the mission of getting blokes of the couch.  Encourage other guys you know to aim for these events.  Kevin & Barb

This is what we have been saying.....

A lot has happened in the past year and it has effected all of us at varying levels.  It has been important for us to encourage everyone to focus on your health, fitness and fun to regain direction and normality back into life. 

We were sad to loose QEII as the venue for Blokes Series and the PhysioMed Women's Series but it was an opportunity to take the series to Rangiora at Dudley Aquatic Centre.  The pool is new, the rural scenery is the best and the roads are in great condition.

This year I wanted to the series to develop more and not being a bloke, I enlisted the help of Kevin Robertson to take on the challenge of encouraging more men than ever to get off the couch and get active.  Kevin has taken part in the events for the past two years and has a passion for health and fitness.

The Blokes Series is a fantastic way for you to experience triathlon or duathlon for the first time,  or if it has been awhile since you have been active to get going again. If you are looking for inspiration, read John's story below..

The series consists of three events, you can take part in all three or any one of them.  Each event increases in distance to give you a challenge.  If you choose to take part in all three there is series prize giving based on points allocated allocated from your finishing place in your category  at each of the three events. 

Being a series entrant you also receive a certificate with all three event results on it and you go in the draw for the major spot prizes.

Corporate Team's competition

In the 2012 we are introducing a Corporate Team's competition. This will be teams of 4 members, entered as individuals in the same event. Individual times will be added together and total times will be the team time.

The challenge is choose a team name enter the series or one of the 3 events and have some fun racing against each other as well as a team. Individual entry form - Enter here
